A Look Back at Our Makers’ Table Gathering

A few weeks ago, The Makers’ Table came to life, and what a cosy, joy-filled evening it was. There’s something special about settling around a wooden table, prosecco in hand, with porcelain pieces laid out like tiny treasures waiting to be transformed.

This session was all about decorating and assembling your own jewellery, and participants arrived with that perfect blend of curiosity and calm. We eased in gently: choosing shapes, experimenting with marks, and chatting as designs slowly emerged. The room glowed with fairy lights, scattered tools, and that quiet concentration that always happens when adults finally give themselves permission to play.

What I loved most was watching them relax into the process. Little moments of “Ooh, I like that one!”… someone discovering they preferred a looser mark… the satisfaction when a pair of earrings suddenly looked like a pair.

In the second session we moved into the assembling stage , bending wires, attaching findings, and seeing pieces turn into wearable keepsakes. There’s always a good buzz when someone tries on their earrings for the first time, and this workshop was no different.

These evenings remind me exactly why I run these workshops: the smiles, the excitement, the conversation, the connection and the simple pleasure of making something with your hands. Everyone left with their own finished jewellery, and a little glow that wasn’t just from the fizz.

If you fancy joining the next one, the Christmas Makers’ Table is coming up soon (27th November 2025). Perfect for a mindful evening out… and even better if you want to make a handmade gift with meaning.
